For heartburn I’ve been taking Zantac and then tums as needed. And unfortunately the early waking started for me at just 4 weeks..and still going strong. Try going to the bathroom and going back to bed. Sometimes it works for me and then sometimes I’m just up for the day 😑

I take Pepcid, which is what my doctor told me to take. If you take it right before your meals, it will prevent the heartburn. Even if you wait and take it after your meal when the heartburn starts, it gets rid of it quickly. It helps my acid reflux too. Tums doesn't help me.

I haven't had the nipple issue yet. They just get itchy and I put cocoa butter on them.

And yes, I wake up around 3am and 6am every morning. Sleep disruption is so normal during this time of our pregnancy.

I had the nipple thing too and they burned. After I get out of the shower and towel dried off, I use Vaseline on them and put a bra on. Usually the burning would go away and the next day they weren’t crusty anymore. It was just dry skin
